Place salmon in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray. Combine milk, water, and bouillon granules; pour over salmon. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 8 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove fish from skillet; set aside, and keep warm. Wipe skillet with a paper towel.
Using a vegetable peeler, cut zucchini lengthwise into thin strips. Coat skillet with cooking spray. Place over medium-high heat until hot. Add zucchini, salt, and minced basil; saute until tender. Add poppy seeds; toss lightly.
Transfer zucchini to a serving platter. Top with salmon. Garnish with basil sprigs, if desired.
